dummy tank
A dummy tank is a type of decoy, usually inflatable or wooden, intended to be mistaken by an enemy for a real tank. Dummy tanks emerged soon after the introduction of real tanks in World War I, but were not widely used until World War II.
==World War I==
During World War I, Allied forces made use of dummy versions of the British heavy tanks. These were constructed from a wooden framework and covered with painted Hessian cloth. The tracks were non-functional so some were fitted with concealed wheels underneath and were towed from place to place by a pair of horses.〔
〕 Dummy tanks, representing Allied models, were also found to have been constructed by the Germans, even though they deployed only a small number of real tanks. It is possible they were used in training, rather than for military deception.
